Texans set consecutive win mark

Deshaun Watson threw for 210 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a third as the Texans set a franchise record with their eighth straight win, 34-17 over the Titans on Monday night in Houston.

Demaryius Thomas scored his first two touchdowns as a Texan and Lamar Miller ran for 162 yards, including a 97-yard TD.

On the same day the Texans (83) honored owner Robert “Bob” McNair they became the first team in NFL history to win eight games in a row after opening a season 0-3.

The Texans trailed by 10 early before reeling off 27 straight points. Tennessee (5-6) finally scored again on a 48-yard reception by Corey Davis late in the third quarter, but the second TD by Thomas — this one for 10 yards — made it 34-17 with just more than eight minutes left.

Jags fire OC, bench QB Bortles

The Jaguars fired offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and benched quarterback Blake Bortles, one day after the team’s seventh consecutive loss.

Coach Doug Marrone promoted quarterbacks coach Scott Milanovich to play-caller and backup quarterback Cody Kessler.

The Jaguars also could be without running back Leonard Fournette, who was suspended one game without pay for fighting with Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson.

Fournette has three days to appeal.

Dalton out for rest of season

Andy Dalton is out for the rest of the season with an injured thumb on his passing hand, another significant blow to a Bengals team that has fallen apart in the past month.

Jeff Driskel will start the rest of the way, getting his first chance to lead the team in his third NFL season. The Bengals also claimed quarterback Tom Savage off waivers from the 49ers as a backup.
